Watch Disney Movies Anywhere with Your iPad or iPhone

Disney have just released a new app into the wild. Disney Movies Anywhere – is a brilliant app for iPad and iPhone that lets you watch your Disney and Marvel movies wherever you are.

The app is built using Disney’s proprietary digital rights locker, KeyChest. A technology we’ve been hearing about for years — and part of the reason Disney/Apple haven’t joined in with Ultraviolet digital copies — it could help Movies Anywhere stretch beyond iOS to other platforms in the future. As originally designed, it can work with any studio, DRM system or digital video store that wishes to participate, and unlock copies purchased via one storefront on any other automatically. That could include Ultraviolet shops like Vudu and Redbox Instant, or those going it alone like Amazon, Google Play and Comcast video on-demand — not to mention other hardware platforms like Android and Roku.

You can browse all of Disney’s movies within the app, and they’re sorted into several categories, like Pixar, Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, Princesses, and more. From a movie’s page, you can watch a preview, see more movies like the one you’re viewing, and hit a button to bring up the movie’s iTunes page so you can purchase it. A badge on the left side of the screen will tell you if the movie has any bonus features. Bonus content in Movies Anywhere often mirrors what you’ll find in iTunes Extras, with short films, behind-the-scenes documentaries and more

There are even more ways to get Disney movies onto your iPad. You can also redeem download codes for DVD and Blu-ray movies you already own for Disney, Pixar, and Marvel films from within the app. Digital copies previously redeemed on iTunes will automatically be active in the app and on iTunes after the user logs in and connects their Disney and iTunes accounts.
